Good morning. AAPL is trading at +0.91 +0.47% in premarket trading at this time. It's earnings week. Microsoft and Alphabet tomorrow. Meta on Wednesday. All after close. In other news, the blue bird is dead. In it's place is an X.

And judging by our own viewership, people seem to be getting excited. Not long ago we had 200 viewers on a normal day, an 300 on a good one. It's hard to know with pro boards, and people viewing with multiple devices, but it currently says about 450 viewers in the last 24 hours, not too far from the 574 ATH it lists from a day 2021. I bet if AAPL's ATH hit that, people would really be stirred up! Thanks for starting the daily thread today CdnPhoto As a reminder, we're looking for people to start the daily thread. For these next couple weeks until we get in a groove it might be a bit random, and anyone logged in can start the daily thread. Ideally we have a few people sign up for certain days. Options expiration Friday? Hump day Wednesday? Apple announcement Tuesday? Start of the week Monday? And something for Thursday....pre-options expiration manipulation day Thursday? And from watching a few too many you-tube videos where they always ask for likes, comments and subscriptions, here it helps to have people create accounts, like posts, and post. It's good to get different viewpoints, remembering that the market is made up to many many investors and their viewpoints, hopes, and fears. It may be easy to get swept away with the fears on the wall of worries, but it's good to at least know what the worries are. It's the same with the hopes and dreams, of what could make prices run. That seems to be where AAPL and the market is right now, being forward looking but also hopeful, or cautiously optimistic. With some big worries fading, people might be getting a little too optimistic, trying to get in before things run up further. But the same could be said 6 months ago, so you just never know. In the very long term, it's been better to be in the market than out of it. Thanks everyone! Please remember to log in, give a thumbs up if you appreciate a post, and post once in a while. And if you want to help out a bit, decide a day of the week that you want to start the daily thread.

"Apple (AAPL) has ruled out bidding for the English Premier League broadcasting rights as the firm wants a "global rights" deal like it has with the Major Soccer League, Daily Mail reported, citing Eddy Cue, the company's senior vice president of services."
Just what we need, more soccer.

Berkshire Hathaway is 350. As an Apple plus this and that mutual fund it is doing very well. Price targets at the 400 level. Why these stocks (Apple and BRK) diverge and converge would be a fascinating study. But not for me...

The NASDAQ rebalancing is today. It has not had any obvious effect on the AAPL share price that I can see. Maybe by the end of today's session the index funds have to complete their selling to match the index? Either there is a drop lurking, or the whole thing didn't make much difference after all.

Just what we need, more soccer. Yep! Most popular sport in the world.

Just what we need, more soccer. Despite American eye-rolls, soccer is big $$ in the rest of the world. For another perspective here's a comment from PED's Apple Sports article from two days ago. "David Drinkwater said: I think Cue is trailing the puck here. He says he wants to do more than just put his toe in the water. In the world of soccer/football, the American MLS is a puddle. From a perspective of the sport, the MLS has is an American commercial/advertising engine behind it, which helps, no doubt, but it is not “really big football”. That is in other countries: England, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and I don’t know which South/Central American countries to name … though Mexico seems obvious. Soccer/football is the biggest sport in the world, but it is barely fifth in America: Gridiron, basketball, baseball, hockey … football. (I say this enviously as a rugby union fifteens fan … and to a lesser degree sevens. Did recently actually really watch (i.e. pay attention to) Gaelic Football, and I gotta say, that is a lot of fun to watch!) So anyway, I think disinterest in the England Premiership is just daft thinking." FWIW

I had a long time member ask about how to create one of these fancy looking posts that people make. Realizing that this may be a common question, and that pro boards doesn't make it entirely intuitive, I'll just post it to all. For starting a new daily thread, you'd be on the AAPL Intraday Updates page at aaplfinance.proboards.com/board/6/aapl-intraday-updates and you'd click Create Thread near the upper right corner. From there you give it a thread name (Subject) like Monday July 24, 2023. In the main area, it has all of the extras such as buttons to create links or to put in quotes. It's pretty easy once you play with it a little. FWIW, it's the same as how we reply within a daily post. The easy way is to just start typing in the "Quick Reply" section at the bottom of the post/thread. But if you click on the Reply or Quote button on a particular post, or the Reply button towards the bottom right of the page, you go to this other page that has all of those same buttons to make posting links or quotes or pictures or whatever a little easier. No XML needed. Let me know if you have any other questions about it. It really is pretty easy, but the best thing to do is probably just to try it out. For a link with a quote, you'd paste in the link URL and the title, and then separately you'd put in a quote. That's really about as complicated as I get, but there are a bunch of other editing options there, like text formatting for size/color/boldness. That's what Artman uses to make the big green text for new ATHs. I hope that helps. Just try to remember at the end of the day to edit your post to add the closing price in the Subject line. I tend to just match the formatting that has been recently used. Thanks!

At the end of the day, you can edit your original first post to change the thread name too, to add the 192.75 +0.81 (+0.42%) at the end.

The average American spends about 220 a month on "streaming"-not enough soccer on ESPN?-Prices continue to rise. Spending 220 enables them to cut the cable bill which includes cell phones, a land line, high speed internet, sports, HBO and Showtime all for 270. The 220 plus the cell and internet is way more.

Do you have a link to that number? That seems excessively huge, more like something to top 10-20% of TV spenders spend. I know at one time the in-laws were spending 300-400 on their monthly cable bill, but that included at least 2 boxes at their house. So I know it's possible to spend a whole lot, but my offhand guess is that the median household spends $100 or less, especially on streaming but probably also on cable + streaming. OTOH, I might be in a bubble. Sometimes people ask what that metal thing at the side of our deck is, not knowing it's a TV antenna. We just don't watch much TV anymore, having a more-than-full time with 3 kids, the things we want to do, and any internet time. We have a few streaming services at the moment, but mostly don't watch them much, maybe averaging 2 movies a week. We used to have some TV shows that we enjoyed watching, but they slowly ended and we didn't bother finding new ones, mainly as the kids got older and stayed up later, so we no longer had some "decompress time" at the end of the day. Either way, $220/month for streaming on average just don't sound right.

Do you have a link to that number? It was from "News" about Apple in Thinkorswim. TD's program.
